The two biggest surnames in the world can’t produce an emperor...! ! !

When it comes to surnames in our country, there are too many. Although there are hundreds of surnames since ancient times, there are far more than a hundred. According to rough statistics (because ancient folk information is not very accurate, even population statistics are often underreported): there were 500 surnames in the Han Dynasty, more than 1,200 in the Tang Dynasty, more than 1,700 in the Song Dynasty, and soared to 400 in the Ming Dynasty. There are more than 4,600 surnames. There are now more than 10,000 surnames in China, and among the 100 surnames that everyone is most familiar with, there are 504 commonly used surnames.

The emperors of each dynasty will let their descendants inherit the throne. That is to say, the surname of the head of each dynasty is the same, called the surname of the country. For example, in the Shang Dynasty, the surname of the country is son, and in the Zhou Dynasty, the surname is son. For Ji, Liu in the Han Dynasty and Li in the Tang Dynasty. The only exception was that there was a man named Wu in the Tang Dynasty. Later, the family was returned to the Li family. The so-called "King Zhang and Li Liu are everywhere", "the emperor of the Zhao family and the general of the Yang family", Li, Liu and Zhao Zhu have all been emperors, but it is very regrettable that the two surnames of Zhang and Wang, who are the top two in the world, have not been able to produce an emperor. , is there any reason for this?

The surname Wang is well-deserved to be the most common surname in the world today, and the first among the three most common surnames in the world (the three most common surnames in the world: Wang, Zhang, and Li). In 2007, the number of people with the surname Wang in China was 92.881 million, accounting for Of the 7.25 people in the country (only the population of mainland China, excluding Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan), there is one surnamed Wang among the 7 people. It is indeed amazing. Regarding the origin of the surname Wang, it mainly comes from three surnames, namely: Zi, Ji and Gui. The origin of the surname Zi is Bigan, Jizi, and Weizi. After the Zhou Dynasty destroyed the Shang Dynasty, they thought of the merits of these three people and rewarded their descendants. Because they were the descendants of the king, they changed the surname from Zi to Wang. The surname Ji was mainly the surname Wang changed after the fall of Zhou Dynasty to avoid pursuit. The surname Gui was given to the surname Gui by Xiang Yu after the Tian surname was conquered by Xiang Yu in the late Qi Dynasty. Later, it was changed to the surname Wang to avoid Liu Bang's pursuit.

Based on the unification, the Wang surname did not lead to the emergence of the emperor, but at least Wang Mang was born. He abolished the Western Han Dynasty and established a new dynasty. He was the emperor for 15 years, but people seemed unwilling to do so. When it comes to this person, he is unwilling to admit that he was an emperor. People say that Wang Mang is the emperor who traveled through time. Many of his policies and ideas were too advanced and were not accepted by people at the time because he ignored the transition period. Just like Yang Guang, how great he is in the eyes of people today, but at that time he was a sinner. The powerful families opposed him because he created the imperial examination system, and the people hated him because he conquered Goguryeo, built the Grand Canal, and made people The people are very tired and miserable. Wang Mang also touched the interests of the nobles, prohibiting the sale of land and slaves, and conquering the Xiongnu and the Western Regions made the people suffer. Apart from Wang Mang, I really couldn’t find anyone else, so I came up with some wonderful sayings. First of all, the surname Wang is too domineering. Think about it, people with a little status in ancient times liked to be called "ye", especially when going to hotels. When it comes to brothels, they always call me "Master" or "Master", which is a problem. It's okay to call Master Li and Master Qian, but you can't call the prince casually, right? The second is that the surname Wang brings with it nobility, because after the emperor came down, the princes were the most powerful, already inferior to others, so the surname Wang naturally seemed noble invisibly. There is also a saying that the character "王" is composed of three horizontal lines and one vertical character, but the upper and lower characters are neither vertical, which means that there is no chance of success. Compared with the Yang surname of the Sui Dynasty, the Zhu surname of the Ming Dynasty always has vertical characters that are both upward and downward. , but this is just wishful thinking and nonsense with no basis.

There is another surname that does not have an emperor. The surname Zhang is the second largest surname in China, with a population of 87.502 million, accounting for 6.8% of the total population. It is one of the three major surnames. The surname Zhang is derived from the surname Ji, which belongs to the descendants of Huangdi. It was created by Zihui, the fifth son of Huangdi's son Shaohao. Zihui was good at making bows and arrows and was named Gong Zhengguan. The bow was lengthened to Zhang, so he got the surname Zhang. Zhang family.

Although the surname Zhang is the second most expensive surname, there has never been an emperor so far. Even a "little emperor" like Wang Mang is very regrettable. But when it comes to emperors, which emperor is the greatest? The Jade Emperor! This Jade Emperor's surname is Zhang and his given name is Zhang Youren. So there is a saying that when Jiang Ziya beheaded a general and became a god, the biggest seat was never sealed. Someone asked Jiang Ziya that Jiang Ziya was originally going to leave it to himself, so he said that there was someone, and Zhang Youren took the opportunity to sit on the highest throne and take charge of heaven. .

Zhang Youren's throne was obtained through unfair means. Everyone knew this, and he was embarrassed about it. So in order to avoid suspicion, he decided that no one with the surname Zhang in the world would be allowed to become emperor in the future, lest anyone say he was partial, so the highest surname Zhang was only If you can be prime minister and queen, you will never get involved with the emperor. This is just a ridiculous statement. Jiang Ziya became a god in accordance with the will of Emperor Haotian. There was already Emperor Haotian at that time, and he was the one who took the lead. Being a god was just to provide others with subordinates. Besides, Jiang Ziya was destined not to become a god. Yes, how dare he go against God's will and give himself the position of boss?

There are too many people named Zhang, including Zhang Tianshi and Zhang Daoling, the founder of Taoism (Taoism and Taoism are two different things, he did not take away Lao Tzu's achievements). For example, the strategist Zhang Yi became prime minister of Wei after serving as prime minister of Qin. The founder of Tai Chi, Zhang Sanfeng, the medical sage Zhang Zhongjing, the military general Zhang Fei, the famous Prime Minister Zhang Juzheng...

King Zhang is the largest surname in our country. There are many people and many virtuous people. As long as it can bring benefits to the country and the people , why bother fighting for the surname of the deceased emperor?
